Can you explain how that would work? I mean 28 years of leap seconds, followed by 5 years without, seems hard to pin on the tides.
Not that the tides don't deserve a bad reputation, what with the rip-tides, and red-tides, and shifty behavior and all. They never show up at the same time two days in a row, and always running out on you, leaving you high and dry when you need them most. Yes the tides are a sneaky bunch, but are they really guilty of this? ;^)
